The Flying Beaver Bar

4760 Inglis Dr, Richmond, BC V7B 1W4

If you happen to be a plane spotter, there’s no better patio for you. The Flying Beaver offers unblocked views of arrivals and departures of seaplanes on the Fraser River, but be warned: it allows smoking on the patio. If the smoke doesn't bother you, though, you’ll be mesmerized by the panoramic views of Vancouver Island, the Georgia Straight and the Gulf Islands. Pub fusion fare and micro beers are on the menu.

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
